The SPD falls behind the AfD in terms of voter favor. In the Sunday trend, which the opinion research institute Insa collects for “Bild am Sonntag”, the Social Democrats lose one point compared to the previous week and come to 19 percent.
The AfD, on the other hand, can maintain its value of 20 percent from the previous week and is thus one point ahead of the Chancellor’s Party.
The Greens are slightly uphill. They can gain a point, coming in at 14 percent this week. The FDP remains at seven percent, the Union at 26 percent.
The traffic light would have a total of 40 percent and, as in the previous weeks, would clearly miss a majority.
The left can gain a point and would make it back into the Bundestag with five percent.
Complicated coalition arithmetic
In the ZDF “Politbarometer” published on Friday, the AfD was also successful in the Sunday question, as it was able to increase for the third time in a row and achieve a high of 19 percent (plus 1) in this survey.
According to this survey, if there were a federal election on Sunday, the SPD would only get 18 percent (minus 1), the CDU/CSU would remain at 28 percent. The Greens (16 percent), FDP (6) and Left (5) would also remain unchanged.
With such a result, neither the ruling traffic light coalition would have a parliamentary majority nor a coalition of Union and SPD. It would therefore be enough for an alliance of CDU/CSU, Greens and FDP. The CDU has ruled out any coalition or similar forms of cooperation with the AfD by party convention resolution. (Reuters)
